Lot 59
BalancedZhang Liang Withdraws to the Mountains
Climb the high tower and conceal yourself;
Around it, thorns have thickened into woods.
Heaven alone knows whether your term is long or brief—
One success may still be bought with other losses.

The Lot in Detail
Traditional image
The image is of withdrawing behind a thorny enclosure. Action now carries hidden costs; protect what matters, accept temporary obscurity, and wait for a cleaner opening.
